Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

irreplaceable xoxo
''I miss the days when life was simple.
When the biggest drama on the planet revolved around
who sat next to whom at youth.
When the toughest question was whether to turn
two worship songs into a medley or not.
I miss the days before boys.
The days when your girlfriends were
all who mattered.
And dating, proposals and marriage didn't.
I miss the days before work came into play.
When my time wasn't paid for and
I could do whatever I wanted with it.
When I could plan outings without having to
worry about OTs and signing FAs.
I miss the days when we were close.
When weekends were ours together.
When we never wanted Saturdays spent
holed up in the Mother's Room to end.''

did you know: christingle
a simple symbol to help make the message of Christmas fresh and lively for them.
The Christingle consists of:
- an orange representing the world
- a red ribbon around it representing the blood of Jesus
- dolly mixtures skewered on cocktail sticks pushed into the orange representing the fruits of the earth and the four seasons (however the representation of the four seasons was later associated and not of moravian origin.)
- a lighted candle pushed into the centre of the orange, representing Jesus Christ as the light of the world

- persistence leads result
face the fear and do it anyway
